| | Agape Optometry Center: Treatment: Orthoptics/Vision Therapy |
 | | Orthoptics is often done in lieu of surgery or as a precursor to surgery. | | | Orthoptics treat muscle problems only in regard to strength and do not focus on neurological and visual-motor issues in the comprehensive way in which vision therapy does. | | | Orthoptics, which literally means "straightening of the eyes," is limited in scope to eye-muscle training and the cosmetic straightening of eyes. |

| | Vision therapy treats the same binocular vision defects and includes orthoptics in its practice. | | | The scope of orthoptics is limited to eye-muscle training and the cosmetic straightening of eyes. | | | Vision therapy goes beyond eye-muscle training to treat neurological and visual-motor issues. |

| | Orthoptics is one of the Professions Allied to Medicine (PAM) defined by the Whitley Council and one of the Professions Supplementary to Medicine (PSM) as established by the PSM Act 1960. | | | Orthoptics is the study of the visual system and includes its development, binocular interaction and ocular motility, with an understanding of the neuro-anatomy and physiology, which underpins this. | | | A challenging aspect of orthoptics is the broad scope of practice in terms of patient and client groups, health care delivery settings and intervention for problems of impairment, activity and participation. |

| | Orthoptics, also called optometric vision therapy, is the use of eye exercises for conditions such as amblyopia and strabismus. | | | Orthoptics, the use of eye exercises to improve vision, is the most widely studied type of vision therapy. | | | Clinical studies have shown it to be effective in treating amblyopia, strabismus, convergence insufficiency and certain accommodation problems. |

| | IOA About Orthoptics |
| | Orthoptics is a profession allied to medicine, the orthoptist investigates, diagnoses and treats disorders of vision, binocular vision (difficulty using the eyes together as a pair) such as strabismus (squint), diplopia (double vision), eye movement disorders and nystagmus (uncontrolled movements of the eyes). | | | Orthoptic training includes instruction by lectures and practical clinical experience. | | | If you would like to be an orthoptist then you should have an interest in and be competent in science, medicine and have a desire to work with people. |

| | Orthoptics is the study of the development of vision, depth perception and the ability to use the eyes together, eye alignment, eye movements, and eye coordination. | | | Orthoptics, literally meaning "straight eyes," is one of the medical sciences specializing in eye care. | | | Orthoptic students attend a 24-month post-baccalaureate internship in an accredited orthoptic program. |

| | Traditional orthoptic therapy has been based on the concept that DEX(T) is a result of inadequate motor fusion. | | | Optometric orthoptic therapy was mostly home based and was carried out for an average of 5.5 weeks (range 1-16 weeks). | | | Duane (2) in 1897 had stated that surgery should be avoided until all other methods have failed. |

| | Vision Therapy for the Treatment of Learning Disabilities |
| | In summary, the published scientific evidence does not support the contention that vision therapy, orthoptics training, or the use of training glasses, prism glasses, or tinted or colored lenses improves reading comprehension for people with learning disabilities or mild traumatic brain injury. | | | This suggests the possibility that vision therapy could be detrimental by disrupting a compensatory mechanism. | | | Other proposed treatments include optometric vision therapy and the use of training glasses, prism glasses, or tinted or colored lenses. |

| | Information about Orthoptics |
| | Overview: Orthoptics is the study of ocular motility, in other words eye movement. | | | You'll also get a little lecture on Orthoptics and what goes on in your degree by the admissions tutor - listen carefully as you might come up with some questions to ask your interviewer and it'll give you some useful background knowledge on the workings of the eye and eye muscles. | | | Trying to get information out of a baby who can't speak words, or a three year old with learning difficulties is a challenge, I can say, so having previous experience with them can be a big help. |
